Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 0.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 36.4, Pierre carries the 20th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 120 — though on just 1 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
